Own What’s Next

As you navigate through your first five years post-college, you will also want to start thinking ahead to planning the next five. This includes setting goals and developing a career plan. For example, you might need to figure out how to move up into your next job role, change career fields, or apply to graduate school. Additionally, family planning, purchasing a home, and other big personal decisions might be on the horizon for you that should be considered.
